Nelson Expert Film Handler Posts: 138 From: Brentwood, CA, USA Registered: Nov 2001 posted 01-21-2003 02:50 PM                     An old friend who introduced me originally to Noel Lee, e-mailed me today and told me what my old room mates company , (Monster Cable) is worth. $400 million. I guess somebody must be buying his wire! over-rated ot not. He does at least let me buy his specialty cable by the 250 foot roll at his cost. ]  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-21-2003 07:47 PM                     Regardless of what a couple of people here might think is wrong, I will continue to twist wire the same way I have for the last 20 years. Those couple of people failed to provide any positive proof anyway, and they are obviously only going on their assumptions. Should any real proof be shown I might consider building a machine to twist it.....but it would certainly have to be pretty good proof. My twisting wire habit is based on the consistently good results that I, and alot of others have gotten from doing it. Don, You also have to look at how much Monster spends on marketing....like McDonalds! Its a large amount of money, and their marketing department could market the Brooklyn Bridge and sell loads of them....gee, it would be a handy bridge to have around, and the Monster Bridge would always have smoother, more highly defined roadways too...... Monster stuff is ok, but there is actually alot better high grade cable out there available for much less money if you know where to look. It is good though that you are into using higher grade cabling. It can never hurt!! Mark @ CLACO www.clacoequipment.com  |  IP: Logged
